Nikola Jokic goes 32/12/7/2 as Nuggets take Game 1
Nikola Jokic provided 32 points, 12 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and a triple Saturday as the Nuggets defeated the Lakers in Game 1 of the Western Conference First Round.
Advice: Jokic did what he usually does and led his team in scoring and rebounds, though it was Jamal Murray (game-high 10) who led the team in assists. Jokic battled Anthony Davis all night, trading tough buckets and key defensive plays, and while Davis put up 32 points of his own, it was Jokic’s Nuggets who had the last laugh. That’s eight straight wins for Denver over Los Angeles, dating back to last season’s Western Conference Finals, a series in which the MVP favorite averaged a whopping 27.8 points, 14.5 rebounds and 11.8 assists with three triple-doubles.
